Morgan Howell There are 50 products.

For all vinyl fans who remember the first seven inch single they ever bought, Icon Gallery is proud to showcase the innovative work of Morgan Howell, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Art, whose unique art celebrates an icon of contemporary pop culture, the seven inch single. He creates supersized 3D paintings of these classic vinyl singles that are approximately 15 times the size of a real single and presents them in a beautiful boxed white floating frame. The pieces are a fantastic representation of people's cherished musical memories, from their favourite song to the band whose music they have enjoyed most of their lives.

His artworks are created with a 27 inch black vinyl disk, onto which Morgan hand paints all the original label details and then he constructs the vinyl sleeve out of canvas bags. The sleeves are paper sculptures in themselves, hand painted and creased and worn to faithfully re-create the original single sleeve. The final framed product measures 81cms by 81cms.

His work is well known by many in the music industry, featuring on the walls of the BBC Radio 2 studios, and in the homes of musicians and offices of record company heads. His first supersize 45 was ‘House of the Rising Sun’ by The Animals in 2009 on the Columbia label.

In addition to each original, Morgan produces nine numbered copies, signed, stamped and numbered by the artist. The 3D supersize prints, although not hand-painted, look like the original and each sleeve is a unique hand embellished paper sculpture as with the original, with no two creases being exactly the same. His current works are listed below, however Icon Gallery will also take commissions for Morgan to recreate new original works.
